The Fanners' Creamery has
bought a boiler and engine from
Oelwein, Iowa, at a very reasonable figure. Though second
handed, they have had very little use and are practically as
good as new. The old engine
and boiler were too small to
drive the machinery.

PRISONERS, SHACKLED TOGETH-
• ER, JUMP OUT WINDOW
OF PASSENGER
St. Cloud Times: A daring and
successful attempt to escape serving
In the state reformatory was made
by two young men, said to be twin
brothers, enroute from Minneapolis
to 'St. Cloud Saturday night.
The prisoners had been shackled
together and were in charge of. two
deputies from, the Hennepin county
sheriff's office. The prisoners sat in
tho smoker in a seat looking forward
and the officers sat on the one ahead,
Which was turned around, so that
they faced them.
The officers gave the prisoners a
paper to road. As their inside hands
and arms were held the only feasible
for them to read was to hold the
paper up in front of them, each holding an end with an outside hand. It
while their faces wore thus hid-
den from tho view of the officers that
they plotted their desperate act.
The window next to them was
open. As there seemed only a remote possibility that the men would
attempt to get out that way the office-a did not bother about them. Suddenly, however, there was a jump
and both men went out the car window.
The train at tho time had just
pulled out of Albertville and a large
number of passengers saw them
make their leap for liberty. The officers ran up and down the train a
moment. Finally they ran across the
conductor and ho stopped the train.
The train was a mile beyond the
point where they had jumped off toy
this time.
One officer got off the train and the
other went on to Monticollo. A telegram was sent iback to Albertville to
organize a searching posse, and another was started from the other end,
but so far as has been learned neither party was successful.
It is stated that the men rolled
over two or three times after striking the ground, but then got up and
ran. How they escaped is a miracle,
as it is also puzzling, how the two of
them could get out through the window so quickly.
Boys Captured
At 11 o'clock yesterday the lads,
their clothes torn to shreds as a result of the leap from tire train and
tramp through brush, limped into
Robbinsdale. They were only slightly hurt. They were turned ,over to
Minneapolis deputies.
They told the polico that they had
broken the, handcuffs, which
■bound them together, with a ham
they had found in a barn a sh'ort
tance from where they leaped from
the train. They said they intonded
to walk to Minneapolis, get into
their home unseen, take their navy
uniforms and then go to Chicago and
rejoin the navy. They are alleged
deserters. Aside from bruises they
were not injured.
The hoys wore sentenced to the reformatory for stealing an automobile
and participating in the robbery of a
grocery store.

PRISONERS, SHACKLED TOGETH-
• ER, JUMP OUT WINDOW
OF PASSENGER
St. Cloud Times: A daring and
successful attempt to escape serving
In the state reformatory was made
by two young men, said to be twin
brothers, enroute from Minneapolis
to 'St. Cloud Saturday night.
The prisoners had been shackled
together and were in charge of. two
deputies from, the Hennepin county
sheriff's office. The prisoners sat in
tho smoker in a seat looking forward
and the officers sat on the one ahead,
Which was turned around, so that
they faced them.
The officers gave the prisoners a
paper to road. As their inside hands
and arms were held the only feasible
for them to read was to hold the
paper up in front of them, each holding an end with an outside hand. It
while their faces wore thus hid-
den from tho view of the officers that
they plotted their desperate act.
The window next to them was
open. As there seemed only a remote possibility that the men would
attempt to get out that way the office-a did not bother about them. Suddenly, however, there was a jump
and both men went out the car window.
The train at tho time had just
pulled out of Albertville and a large
number of passengers saw them
make their leap for liberty. The officers ran up and down the train a
moment. Finally they ran across the
conductor and ho stopped the train.
The train was a mile beyond the
point where they had jumped off toy
this time.
One officer got off the train and the
other went on to Monticollo. A telegram was sent iback to Albertville to
organize a searching posse, and another was started from the other end,
but so far as has been learned neither party was successful.
It is stated that the men rolled
over two or three times after striking the ground, but then got up and
ran. How they escaped is a miracle,
as it is also puzzling, how the two of
them could get out through the window so quickly.
Boys Captured
At 11 o'clock yesterday the lads,
their clothes torn to shreds as a result of the leap from tire train and
tramp through brush, limped into
Robbinsdale. They were only slightly hurt. They were turned ,over to
Minneapolis deputies.
They told the polico that they had
broken the, handcuffs, which
■bound them together, with a ham
they had found in a barn a sh'ort
tance from where they leaped from
the train. They said they intonded
to walk to Minneapolis, get into
their home unseen, take their navy
uniforms and then go to Chicago and
rejoin the navy. They are alleged
deserters. Aside from bruises they
were not injured.
The hoys wore sentenced to the reformatory for stealing an automobile
and participating in the robbery of a
grocery store.
